Abstract:
An investigation was carried out to optimize the extraction process of dietary fiber from
Phyllanthus emblica Linn. pomace, and the physicochemical properties and
in vitro adsorption capacity of
Phyllanthus emblica Linn. pomace, total dietary fiber (TDF), insoluble dietary fiber (IDF), and soluble dietary fiber (SDF) were investigated. The results showed that the optimal extraction process using alkali method was: Concentration of NaOH 8 g/L, material-to-liquid ratio of 1:35 (g:mL), treatment at 70 °C for 40 min, and the yield of IDF and SDF were 61.72%±0.04% and 17.57%±0.03%, respectively.
Phyllanthus emblica Linn. pomace and its dietary fiber both had good hydration properties and oil-holding capacity. TDF had the lowest water holding and the highest swelling capacity significantly different from
Phyllanthus emblica Linn. pomace, SDF and IDF (
P<0.05). SDF had lowly capacity to oil-holding, swelling and fat, however under simulated stomach (pH2) which had the higher adsorption capacity for cholesterol and NO
2- than
Phyllanthus emblica Linn. pomace, TDF and IDF (
P<0.05). The adsorption capacity of
Phyllanthus emblica Linn. pomace and its dietary fiber on cholesterol and NO
2− was related with pH
in vitro. The cholesterol adsorption capacity of TDF and SDF were higher under simulating stomach pH, while the adsorption capacity of
Phyllanthus emblica Linn. pomace and IDF on cholesterol were higher under simulating small intestine. The
Phyllanthus emblica Linn. pomace and its dietary fiber had higher adsorption capacity on NO
2− under stomach pH than simulated small intestinal pH. This paper studied the extraction and properties of dietary fiber from
Phyllanthus emblica Linn. pomace, which could provide some theoretical reference for its application in health food.
